How to cancel your New Yorker subscription

If you subscribed in The New Yorker app, turn off auto-renew in your App Store or Google Play subscriptions before the period ends (Apple: at least 24 hours before). The New Yorker blocks AI agents from its own pages, so cancelling a subscription bought directly isn't documented here yet.

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

  • Pay yearly In the app, a subscription costs $119.99 a year against $11.99 a month apps.apple.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • The app's 7-day free trial renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before it ends
  • Most New Yorker subscribers get the app with an existing subscription: if it isn't in your Apple or Google Play list, another company bills you, so check your bank or card statement
  • Uninstalling the app does not cancel a Google Play subscription

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/new_yorker.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
